Chapter [-]: Up the Mountain Again

At this time, Ma Jinbao came in again with a bowl of hot soup, and said, "Let's have some food first, and study while eating! People are iron and rice are steel, how can you be energetic if you don't eat!"

"Yes, eat first, and only when you're full will you have the energy to compete with that murderer!" The county magistrate Gong Wei also stepped forward and said.Although the murderer could not be caught, and his position as the county magistrate was not stable, if something happened to Xu Li, Zhang Guixiang, and Li Xiaoguo, he would not be able to bear the responsibility!

Xu Li saw that everyone was looking at him, and it seemed that if he didn't do it first, everyone would not be able to move their chopsticks.Immediately smiled and said: "Old Ma is right. People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry! Come on, let's eat first!" After finishing speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and ate a mouthful of food, and sighed: " Ma, you are blessed, sister-in-law's craftsmanship is truly incredible!"

Ma Jinbao scratched his head, just smiled foolishly and didn't answer.

Everyone saw that Xu Li had moved his chopsticks, so they all did it themselves, serving rice and soup. In less than ten minutes, the table was still full of food just now, and only leftovers were left. Lao Ma and his wife picked up the table, and everyone sat around again. On the kang, continue to discuss the case.

Holding a toothpick, Zhang Guixiang said with some emotion: "You said that we have enough to eat and live warmly here. Pity those soldiers. After a day of exhaustion, we have to camp on the mountain. I don't know if we can rest well!"

"It's okay. I've wanted to pull the team out for a field survival training for a long time, but the higher-ups always don't approve it. I'm afraid of any accidents. This time, it's all about their training, killing two birds with one stone!" Li Xiaoguo said with a smile.

Of course Xu Li understood what Li Xiaoguo meant. Through this day's contact, Xu Li also had some understanding of Li Xiaoguo. He was indeed a young general who wanted to start everything from actual combat, and was always on the lookout for any troubles on the other side. Don't think so. After all, the two countries have been peaceful for decades, and they should not start a war lightly. If the action here is too big and it really causes misunderstanding on the other side, then the gain will outweigh the loss.What's more important is that Li Xiaoguo is a child of the Li family. If something unexpected happens during the camping and affects Li Xiaoguo's future, then his own future may also be ruined.Therefore, it is better to be still than to move, let Li Xiaoguo stay in the barracks with peace of mind, and don't cause any trouble.

Even this time to assist the Songjiang Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government in the search work, the army leaders did not want Li Xiaoguo to come. It was Li Xiaoguo who took the initiative to ask for a fight, and even asked his family to intercede for this opportunity.The reason why the Li family spoke was because they heard that Xu Li had already arrived in Jindalai County, so they let Li Xiaoguo come over. They hoped that Li Xiaoguo and Xu Li could have a good relationship. After all, everyone is considered a family, and Li Xiaoguo is the third in the Li family. The eldest son and grandson of the generation will be the pillar of the Li family in the future. If they have a good relationship with Xu Li, it will also benefit the development of the Li family in the future.

"I hope the soldiers can also understand the significance of this action!" Xu Li laughed.

"Although the soldiers are suffering, the murderer is probably suffering even more! In this icy and snowy mountain, he has no food or drink. I admire his tenacity of vitality for being able to survive for so many days!" Li Xiaoguo also joked. road.

"Yes..." Xu Li agreed casually, but immediately shouted: "No!" Xu Li's cry startled everyone.

"Secretary-General Xu, what's wrong?" Zhang Guixiang asked hurriedly.

"No, it's really wrong! Yesterday we also went to see Ma's house on the mountain. Although the murderer lit a fire to cook at Ma's house, the food was raw and poured into the bucket of sweet water. He ate an extra meal that night, and it was raw rice, but he didn’t take any food away. It has been nearly a week since the murder. What do you think the murderer ate this week? If he didn’t eat, how could he Do you have the strength to run for your life? How could you escape a hundred kilometers? Could it be that he is really an iron man?"

Xu Li's words made everyone stunned, yes, there is no food to be found in this icy and snowy mountain, if they could find it, the murderer would not have to go down the mountain to kill the seven members of Ma's family, but also to cook a raw meal. So what did the murderer eat this week?If there was no food, could the murderer have been starved and collapsed in that cave or canyon?

"I'm going to go up the mountain again to see if I can find some useful clues!" Xu Li said as he got off the ground and was about to set off.

"I'll accompany you there too!" Zhang Guixiang was still worried, and besides, the clues would not fall from the sky sitting here, so why not go for a walk, maybe you can find some useful clues.

Although Gong Wei didn't want to go, but Xu Li and Zhang Guixiang were going, so how could he not accompany him, and he wanted to go right now.

But Xu Li turned his head and said: "Major Gong, don't go, it's dark and the road is slippery, don't be in any danger! Besides, people are needed to coordinate at the foot of the mountain, so you stay in Majiatun. Secretary Zhang, Li and I It’s enough for the head of the group and Director Song to go up the mountain together!”

Of course Gong Wei understood that Xu Li was taking care of himself. Although he wanted to go up the mountain, but thinking about the blood stains in Ma's kitchen, Gong Wei's face turned pale, so he said, "Well, I'll wait for the news at the bottom of the mountain, but how much do you want?" Bring a few people up the mountain, safety first! Song Feng, call more policemen, and make sure to protect the safety of Secretary-General Xu, Secretary Zhang, and Captain Li!"

Song Feng nodded and said: "Magistrate Gong, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" After speaking, he went out to call for someone.

Li Xiaoguo went to intervene and said: "Director Song, just call a few people, and I will also bring a few guards, their firepower is stronger, even if you encounter any wild boars or tigers, you will be fine!"

In addition to Xu Li, Zhang Guixiang, Li Xiaoguo, and Song Feng, the last people who went up the mountain were four policemen and four guards. A total of twelve people flashlighted again and went all the way up the mountain.

This time without the burden of Gong Wei and Ma Jinbao, Xu Li took the lead, everyone was much faster, and it took only 10 minutes to arrive at Ma's house again.Song Feng stepped forward and opened the gate, and Xu Li and others walked into the courtyard.But after a careful search, no useful clues were found. Except that the snow in the courtyard had melted a little, everything was the same as when I came last time.

Everyone wandered around the yard for more than half an hour. Song Feng approached Xu Li and said, "Secretary-General Xu, it seems that there are no useful clues here. Why don't we go down the mountain and study tomorrow's search plan!"

When Xu Li was down the mountain, he always felt like he was missing something. He thought he could find some inspiration or clues when he went up the mountain, but he still didn’t find anything when he went around.But Xu Li was still a little bit unwilling to go down the mountain with nothing.
